Jerry,
pretty much the same thing for me.
If I put the image of Nina or my own image as rather neutral most 
of the EAM prints are neutral too for my eyeball metering.
But Michaels print of the girl seems very much warmer (tungsten 
light, it is 11pm in Germany now). My wife calls the tone "beige" I 
would call it nearly brown. (Much warmer than my Agfa 
Multicontrast silver prints I used to call "warm"-toned). I would  
repeat, that in direct comparison Henry´s picture (which has 
ATGET qualities) has a greenish tint - although I would not say it 
IS green. I wouldn´t even say that I dislike this tint. For my own 
images I prefer the warmer tones, but I like Henry´s picture a lot 
and that seems to dominate my perception so much, that  I even 
like the greenish tint.
BTW your picture is the coolest one, isn´t it?
All subjective stuff, I know.
Regards Bernd
